Chapter 60: The Red at the Olympic Stadium
“Gooooooooooooal! Christopher, Christopher scored again and helped Antwerp overtake the score again! 3-2, Antwerp only needs one goal to advance! Christopher repaid Van Ake's trust with two goals in his first game back in the green, and Antwerp's deal was a great deal! ”
Not long after the start of the second half, Antwerp took advantage of a corner kick and Di Gregorio assisted Christopher to score and make it 3-2!
This goal not only boosted the morale of Antwerp, but also was a great blow to Bilshot's players.
After the game restarted, the Bill Shot players, who were eager to equalize, looked a little restless when attacking. In the process of attacking, they often hope to tear apart the defense with a single pass. Obviously, this is not possible. Their restless passing was just a waste of time and a squander of attacking opportunities there, while also providing Antwerp with good counter-attacking opportunities.
In the 51st minute, Yu Liang's interception in the midfield created a great opportunity for the team.
Before he could break the ball, Bill Shot's players rushed out in a swarm, and the entire defense was raised high. After breaking the ball, Yu Liang overturned it laterally, and after getting rid of the opposing player, he directly passed the ball to the right side with a long diagonal pass.
Campbell, who did not have many highlights in this game, cut directly inside to complete a shot after receiving the football. Unfortunately, the shot could not be suppressed, and the ball flew straight to the stands.
After narrowly escaping the disaster, Bill Shot attacked again.
Unlike the previous ones, they added midfield passes to their attack this time. However, as in the previous attacks, they were not able to threaten the Antwerp goal.
The restlessness of the Bill Shott players was clear to their head coach Dalden from the sidelines.
Although he also walked to the sideline and shouted loudly a few times, it was not effective.
In desperation, he could only send the players on the bench to warm up, trying to control the situation on the field through substitutions.
Darden glanced at Van Ake, who was standing on the other side of the technical area, and frowned.
Having won 2-0 on the road, he doesn't believe he will be beaten back by his opponents when he returns home. But now looking at the situation on the field, he can only prepare for the worst.
Sighing, Darden's brow furrowed even more as he shifted his gaze back to the arena.
Because Antwerp's counterattack is coming again.
Di Gregorio received the ball on the left flank, faced Van der Vuyden's defence, stepped on two bikes in a row, flicked the ball towards the middle with the outside instep, and then immediately cut inside around Van der Weyden.
Yu Liang, who kept up, faced Di Gregorio's pass, pushed the ball with the arch of his foot and directly pushed the ball to the gap in the ribs.
Di Gregorio, who came here interspersed with runs, stopped the ball with the outside instep and shot directly at the goal without making adjustments.
The ball arced to the far corner, but because the ball was not fast, it was directly confiscated by the opponent's goalkeeper Luciano.
"Oh, another shot on goal, and Antwerp threatened Bilshot's goal with two counter-attacks in a row. Bill Shot's players have been playing a bit impatient during this time, and we can see that their head coach Darden is very unhappy with their performance during this period and seems to be ready to make a substitution! ”
For the impatient performance of the Bill Shot players, Verbeek was overjoyed.
However, in the spirit of neutral commentary, he did not have a clear preference for his home team, Antwerp.
"When the third goal came in, Dalden should have made adjustments! But it's not too late, hopefully we can bring on a midfielder and steady the pace! ”
As a former player of Bill Shot, Bryan didn't want Bill Shot to lose the derby. But as soon as his words fell, he couldn't help but start worrying about Bill Shot.
Because Antwerp again formed an interception in midfield.
After Biga broke the ball, he directly passed the ball to Yu Liang, who came to answer.
After Antwerp's first two effective counter-attacks, Bill Shot's players have calmed down a lot. When they conceded the ball, they reacted immediately, either dropping back to defend or pressing on the spot.
By the time Yu Liang cooperated with his teammates and dodged the opponent's pressing, he had already lost the opportunity to counterattack quickly.
After losing the opportunity to counterattack quickly, Yu Liang still made a choice to pass forward. After handing the ball to King Dong, he immediately stepped forward and motioned for his teammates to press up. Hopefully, they can put constant pressure on Bill Shot's defence.
King Dong withstood the pressure behind him and controlled the ball at his feet in the front court for a while, and finally chose to pass back.
After Bijia received a pass from King Dong, he immediately handed the ball to Yu Liang.
Yu Liang, who received a pass from his teammates near the middle circle, did not rashly choose a long pass after watching the team's formation all press up, but took the ball to the left side.
There is no opportunity to move forward, and there will be absolutely no way forward.
When Yu Liang handed the ball to Cedric, he deliberately told him.
As long as Cedric was about to fall into the encirclement, Yu Liang immediately went to answer it. And Cedric did not selfishly choose to break out, and without being 100% sure, he still passed the ball to Yu Liang.
After several attempts in quick succession, they were unable to open a breakthrough on the left flank, and although Yu Liang and Cedric failed to form a breakthrough on the left, they managed to shift the focus of Biershot's defense to this side.
After receiving Cedric's return pass, Yu Liang made a long pass directly to Christopher, and then immediately moved laterally, while signaling Christopher to pass to Braque.
As a newcomer, Braque was under a lot of pressure in this game, so when the team attacked, he basically did not insert assists on the right side. So the first moment he received the pass, Braque passed the ball out.
Yu Liang, who moved to the right side, received the pass and signaled Braque to step forward. He tried to play with Braque on the right, but seeing Braque's cautious appearance, he finally chose to give up.
However, after this lateral shift, Billshot's defensive focus has not fully adjusted.
Bill Shot's right side still has some gaps, and since Brac didn't choose to cut forward, Yu Liang came directly with the ball.
After making a wall-hitting cooperation with Mihem, Yu Liang stepped forward directly with the ball.
When Yu Liang stepped forward, the three people in the front court immediately began to intersperse the run, and Campbell's recovery directly pulled Bill Short out of a gap on the left.
However, the players who made up the defense were rushing at a fast pace.
Faced with this fleeting opportunity, Yu Liang calmly adjusted, and directly chose a long shot.
Although the rain stopped after the start of the second half, the ball was still slippery.
The powerful shot went straight to the near corner. Luciano blocked the near corner, but was still unable to save the ball.
Watching the ball pass over the goalkeeper's fingertips, Yu Liang, who was in the air, was already clenching his fists at this time, ready to celebrate the goal.
Bang!
Accompanied by the tremor of the crossbar, the crisp sound sounded like a natural sound to the Biershot players.
But in the next second, the Bill Shot player became nervous again.
Because the ball bounced out of the box.
"Uncle's ......"
Yu Liang, who was about to celebrate the goal, watched the football smash on the crossbar and scolded a little stupidly.
But in the next second, he was overjoyed, looking at the football flying towards him, Yu Liang directly faced the football and hit the goal with a header.
Although Luciano was ready, in the face of Yu Liang's header, he could only look at the ball and sigh.
The ball arced and flew into the far end of the goal along the lower edge of the goal.
4-2!
Yu Liang scored Antwerp's fourth goal of the game to make the aggregate score 4-4.
“Goooooooooooal! Goooooooooooooooooal! Yu Liang, Yu Liang, wonderful header from Yu Liang, 4-2! Yu Liang's goal changed the score to 4-2, so that the aggregate score between the two legs became 4-4, and if this score was maintained until the end of the game, then Antwerp would advance to the semi-finals of the Cup! ”
Verbeek shouted excitedly from the commentary box, not believing that Antwerp could really complete the comeback and qualify away from home.
It's not over yet, but at the moment he believes Antwerp can do it.
Brian, who was sitting on the side, looked at Yu Liang who was holding his hands high in the court, and smacked his lips a little bitterly: "Darden's adjustment came too late......"
At this time, Dalden, who was standing on the sidelines and was explaining the tactics to the substitute players, listened to the cheers, looked at the Antwerp players who were celebrating, and after the score on the big screen, he angrily threw the tactical board in his hand directly to the ground.
Dalden angrily threw away the tactical board in his hand, it is not difficult to imagine his anger at this moment! The good situation has become what it is now, and you can imagine the anger in his heart. But I wonder what kind of adjustments he will make next? ”
Darden's anger was seen by many in the stadium.
However, after calming down, Dalden immediately made a new adjustment. Replaced two strikers, removed two midfielders, and played a 424 formation.
……
"Quick, quick, Bill Shot has made a substitution, they have changed No. 23 and No. 19, two strikers! Replaced No. 11 and No. 13,, Bill Shot's head coach is crazy, he wants to play a four-two-four formation! ”
On a remote stand, a group of fans in red and white jerseys immediately burst into cheers after watching Billshot's substitutions.
It's not cheering, it's a great irony of Billshot's move.
"Zhang Wei, Yu Liang and they are here, quick, where is the five-star red flag? Bring the five-star red flag! ”
Several of the fans were international students from the University of Antwerp. They came to watch this important game just to cheer for Yu Liang and King Dong, so they prepared the five-star red flag early before the game, wanting to put on Yu Liang and King Dong after the game.
"Here, here! Unfold, unfold! ”
They were excited, and after taking out the five-star red flag, they immediately unfolded.
Yu Liang and King Dong, who were celebrating under the stands here, immediately saluted after seeing the five-star red flag.
"King, go, one more!"
"Okay, one more!"
After saluting, Yu Liang immediately pulled King Dong back to the stadium, wanting to score another goal.
After Yu Liang and the others returned to the stadium after their celebration, the game began quickly.
After Billshot made a frantic change, Van Ake also made a change, replacing Campbell and bringing on Welbist to strengthen the team's defence.
After the start of the game, the two sides started a final struggle amid the cheers of the fans.
In the cold wind, in the stands crowded with fans, the red is so bright and bright. Just like Yu Liang, who performed well tonight, it was dazzling......
